the board only had those aluminum nose and tail kickers...you could just do it yourself. Kinda makes it look like a bi-level.

Interesting... that's actually closer to what I thought the bi-level was going to look like when I first heard about it. But my shins hurt just looking at the aluminum edges Laughing

say you end up doing a split and one of the aluminum tails hits you in a "convenient" spot...

mmmmmm idk man Im not trying to hate, but that looks ouch and I used to have an Aircraft aluminum skateboard, and well aluminum just aint really good for skating. . maybe like a carbon composite tail system, thatd save on weight, and give a livelyier pop as well as the fact that it wouldnt bend or gash like aluminium. . just a thought a littel constructive crit if you will since somebody from Devotid is on here

Dude, that is cool, but i would never ride it. It would like slice the shizzle out of the legs. And imagine if it got near the nut sack. Shocked

The board looks nice to me, as far as shape, etc. Just drop the torture devices.

what if the aluminum was bent over on the edges so it was smooth? i bet it would be worth it then
